Microhistory is one of the best known and widely emulated Italian historiographical practices. Very often, however, the term is misused or misunderstood. In this paper, I trace the roots of microhistory, identifying its fundamental features and most recent developments. I then briefly reconstruct the history of contemporary historiography on Italian psychiatry, highlighting successful examples of microhistory. Lastly, I indicate some recent authors and works that I believe offer useful insights for a conscious and effective use of microhistory in this field as well.
Keywords: Biography, complexity, microhistory, insight, history of psychiatry.
